"It is not our intention to reverse all our customers to orthodox vegans. But while we still want to offer something delicious onboard, we also get our passengers to reflect and hopefully open the taste of those who think that vegetarian food is difficult, strange and tasteless.

it simply can’t go wrong, "says Ann-Sofie Hörlin, Environmental Manager, Malmö Aviation.
